eddie Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Nixon confirmed Brighton are interested in Keogh but so are others and he is available to leaveCertain to stay then. Thanks, just the news I was waiting for, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Think it'd be good for everyone if he left, as long as bucko/Pearce is up to the job. If the kind of fees we expect happen (I.e. 2m with add ons) then that could go straight into strengthening elsewhere. Unfortunately keogh has and always will be a scrap goat since Wembley and surely that's contributed to his mistakes before. A completely new cb partnership might be the current best optionNo, it's only good for the idiots - those who don't possess the intelligence they were born with and can only communicate in monosyllabic grunts consisting of a 'B' and lots of 'O's. I don't like to see boo-boys win, so feck 'em, basically. Feck 'em right down Brian Clough Way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozza Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 We were annoyed when Keogh came in at the expense of Shackell , well i was anyway .i would have liked to have had them play together . We have the chance to try that combo now ,so why not give it a shot ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Why would Keogh stay? He has taken plenty of stick, his wife has taken plenty of stick, looks set to lose the captaincy and i dont think neither Shackell not Pearce have joined to sit on the bench...so with the last season before the Euros would he really be happy to sit on our bench?Im not a fan of his and never have been, i will be glad to see him go and he certainly is not better than Shackell or Pearce. Shotton Baird and Buxton will be backups at CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotton Baird and Buxton will be backups at CB.Maybe he likes where he lives and wouldn't want to move home? He seems to get on really well with his team mates, he probably doesn't care what 'the boo boys' think. I imagine he's on a nice wage which not many Championship clubs would offer and he probably still thinks he can cement a first team spot.That 2nd line is just silly. Keogh was voted in the top 2 centre backs in the league last season. Pearce wasn't even the best centre back at a Reading side with a shocking defensive record. I like Pearce, he's looked good in pre season and seems to have settled well, but he has done nothing in the past 2 or 3 seasons to suggest he's better than Keogh.

Bucko not fit. Just leaves Shotton. Not enough for me. We would be MUCH weaker without Keogh.Just to be clear I want a Keogh Shackell central defence.

Carra Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 What do you see as Keogh's 'skill sets'?1) Pace - He isn't slow for a defender and none of our other centre backs have any, maybe aside from Shotton (ish).2) Desire - Keogh has a lot of desire and passion to succeed. However his leadership was relatively poor because of that. That's where shacks comes in. That weight can be lifted off Keogh's shoulders and hopefully he'll begin performing again.3) He is an experienced player with over 300 league appearances and knows the league well.4) He can bring the ball out of defence and run with it to relieve pressure off the defence.Keogh was our best defender last year, despite our completely disastrous season. His problem was that he wasn't in a settled back 4, like in the previous season he was. That along with out right back problems caused a very leaky defence. All in all I do not believe we should be selling players like Keogh, especially to a championship rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 If Keogh is leaving I can't imagine we would go without a new signing or sign one that is purely just a CB. I would imagine we would bring in someone who can play both CB and RB but would perhaps be primarily a RB and slot into the side as first choice RB. Still holding out for Wisdom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shackell I can agree with because he played every minute and Burnley had a very good defensive record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Ironically if Keogh did go to Brighton then he would partner Dunk. Many on here wanted that to be our partnership a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 The team aren't, but come on Brighton is a fantastic place to live. I bet you now you don't have a Pier in Belper, and that's just for starters. Now just hang on a minute..... there's the River Gardens and truth me told i would rather have that than the Mayflower Pier in Southampton - which admittedly isn't jmuch of a pier, more of an old Ferry Terminal, but still......

Kernow Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Think Keogh and Shackell would compliment each other big time, would be a very strong pairing with a very strong second pairing in Pearce and Bucko. Pearce and Bucko would get in to 3/4 of the leagues back 4, so to have them as non-starters would be a luxury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
